Consumer Reports magazine ran a very interesting article on "space heaters"
in their (Oct-Dec '85) issue.  (Sorry, I don't have it at hand now).  They
explained their own modus of evaluating the heaters and gave a significant
amount of evaluative material on 25-30 heaters of all types (fan, radiant,
convection, etc.).  I suggest that you go to your local public library and
read the article before buying any heater product.  Some manufacturers had
one model rated at the top of a list and another model rated at the bottom.

I purchased a space heater based on their data and have been VERY pleased
with its performance for my own situation.
